Trader

Trader's History

Sometime before the events of the series, Polaris saved the lives of Trader's parents.

Season 1

In eXit Strategy, Trader volunteered to be on a mission to rescue Polaris and Reed from from Sentinel Services captivity. During the mission to attack a convoy that was carrying the prisoners to a new prison, Trader decided to use his illusion ability to cloak himself and scout out the convoy.

As soon as he got close, Pulse used his ability to disrupt all mutants powers. Trader's ability started to glitch. He became visible and a soldier spotted and shot him.

After Thunderbird was able to disable Pulse, the mutants got their powers back, Blink opened a portal and Dreamer carried the wounded Trader back to safety through it.

In boXed In, a wounded Trader was brought back to the Mutant Underground Headquarters. Caitlin went to treat Trader’s gunshot wound and Andy donated some of his O-negative blood for him. Caitlin performed surgery on Trader to remove the bullet from his body but in the process she nicked an artery. Lauren created an air bubble to stop the nicked artery from bleeding and Caitlin was able to stitch the artery.

In eXploited, an angry Trader confronts Reed and Caitlin after they return to Headquarters. He reveals to them that Esme had told everyone in the station about their plan to talk with Agent Turner about freeing their captured allies. He is then shocked and confused to learn from Reed that it was Esme's idea to go to Turner, but wasn't as she described to everyone else. Realizing Esme had deceived them all, a horrified Trader reveals that the others went to Trask Industries to save their allies as part of a plan made by Esme.
